They made history. First time all four #1 teams have been in the Final Four. I've pretty much watched all of them play at least a few games this year. There are gonna be a lot of good matchups. Me being from the South, with Memphis right down the street from me, I'm going with Memphis to win it all. Memphis is a cool city. I've got two sisters that stay in Memphis. It's not home for me but it's close to home. It's a nice play to go and relax and hang out, I guess. I'm going with Memphis and Kansas in the Final. I think Kansas will beat Carolina and Memphis will beat Kansas.

What does the Yard think?

	I with you, I'm pulling for Memphis. Except I'm gonna go with Carolina and Memphis in the Finals.

	I wasn't a Memphis believer until I saw them destroy the Longhorns. KS/CAR game will be a barnburner, for sure. Personally, I like Carolina in that one just because of Hansbrough in the middle. Memphis can beat UCLA, but it will take a game just like they had against the Horns. Your're right Memphis is a cool place to hang out. I am retired from FedEx and spent a lot of time there in training classes. Good bars and some damn good BBQ.

	Lets go North Carolina, but that Point Guard on Memphis is absurd and will be a member of the Heat by next season.

	Westbrook will shut Rose down and make him look like he just stepped off the special bus. UCLA by 8 in this match up.

	I got to go with UCLA. I have had them from the beginning. Kevin Love is a great player and UCLA plays great defense. Love was in my high school league last year and he still makes me go WOW!

	Hey, Darren I live here in Memphis and since our Hogs are out I guess I'll root for the hometown boys. What I want to know is how can I get a copy of NCAA 09 autographed? I've been waiting for a Hog to grace that cover for quite some time and you have finally done us proud. Good luck in the draft. I plan on taking you #1 in my fantasy football draft, btw.

	Memphis looked good the other night, but I think TX just choked up. I don't think UCLA will do that. Should be a good matchup.

	can we turn this into the McFadden Vlog? you've got the voice for video man, and then you could be like "today's McFadden Vlog is brought to you by our proud sponsor, Extra Gum. mmm long lasting and great taste!!" it'd be tight, and you could start getting some advertising income now that you're going pro. thing big dude

	Im going with Memphis vs. UNC with MEMPHIS winning it all

	Memphis is tough, but Kevin Love will be draining full-court shots to take the championship. By the way Darren, I'm gonna need you to go ahead and get 37 TD's and 2000+ yards as I will be drafting you this year. Thanks.

	Here is the prediction of the year right here. Neither UNC or UCLA will win it this year!!!!! Since they have already lost I guess it's not really a prediction as much a statement of fact. I'm a big KU fan and hope they win it all but Memphis, (who I was never sold on being an elite team until the tournament) looks great. It should be a great game. On a side note Darren I wish you luck in the draft and hopefully Jerry Jones pulls that trigger and moves up to get you. If not I'll still be a fan and hope that you do well.

	Look at you Nostradamus. Well played so far.

	Well I should have said that if you don't go to Dallas I hope that you will do well except when you play Dallas.
